So basically I'm a slowpoke when it comes to making icons.
Anyhoo, I have like 100+ icons for you. This post is similar to the last post in that I experimented a lot and used lots of different resources.

This post includes: Heath Ledger, Angelina Jolie, Iron Man, James McAvoy, The Dark Knight, Eva Green, Quantum of Solace, Wall-E, Atonement, The Darjeeling Limited, etc.



voilà. )

I just watched The Diving Bell & The Butterfly, an extremely beautiful film. Go watch it. Also watch 3:10 to Yuma.
And of course, go see The Dark Knight if you haven't already seen it. Although, judging by its phenomenal numbers, I'm sure you've already seen it at least twice. ;)

Here are about 120-130 icons that I made over the past two months. :)

This post contains: lots of Heath Ledger, Atonement, James McAvoy, Keira Knightley, Eva Green, Natalie Portman, Angelina Jolie, etc.

PREVIEW:


Well, why don't you? Why don't you just let me be? It's because of you Jack, that I'm like this! I'm nothin'... I'm nowhere... )

Brokeback Mountain is a beautiful movie. I feel that it deserved every bit of praise it was given. If you haven't seen it, watch it for its quality as a film, at least. And if you have problems with the gay themes, that's hardly the point or message of the movie. I watched it as two people falling in love and didn't have a problem with it. If you watch it as "the gay cowboy movie," you'll ruin it for yourself. Watch it with an open mind and you'll appreciate it.

But anyways, I made very simplistic icons of the movie because I didn't want to mess with such beautiful caps. Hence the lack of textures, text, and brushes.

Also, I hope I did Heath justice in those icons. I'm kind of glad I took my time making these. I think it would have felt a little bit too rushed and clichéd if I had posted them the day or week after his death. And also, I was still working on them because I am a slow-poke when it comes to creating icons. I miss you Heath.


Hope you like the icons! :)
I'll post these in other communities a little bit later. I have to go practice the piano now...

I apologize for not posting icons in like forever. I seem to do this quite often, and my only excuse is that I'm lazy and it takes me hours to make these posts.
However, I do have about 200 icons, so I have been doing stuff in PS, I just haven't posted it.

So, you probably don't care about long paragraphs that I may write about Harry Potter, Grey's Anatomy, and The Office, so I will put those in the next post. :)

[20] Angelina Jolie
[04] Atonement
[01] Becoming Jane
[05] Brangelina

PREVIEW:


You can't cheat your first kiss. Trust me, you don't want to. Cause when you find that right person for a first kiss, it's everything.  )

In the future, I will not post such large posts...I will limit myself to 50 icons a post. ;)
But anyways, hope everyone likes the icons!

P.S. You know the usual, but I thought I should just refresh you, because I never post this:
Comments are love.
Please credit me if you use.
No Hotlinking.
P.P.S. If you want a PSD of an icon from this post, just tell me which icon in your post and I will make a PSD and post them for you.

1. PURE BRILLIANCE PART 1.

2. PURE BRILLIANCE PART 2. I think #14 is like my favorite icon right now because it describes my life until I finish HP #7. :)

3. Everyone should watch the preview for Keira Knightley's upcoming movie, Atonement.

some thoughts about the movie and book... )

4. I'm also SO EXCITED FOR HP #7...I can't believe that it's the last one. I don't want it to be...I'm going to be like crying as soon as I finish the book. I've been rereading the whole series in preparation for the seventh book and right now I'm on the 4th one. I hope I can finish #6 in time, lol. ;) The great thing about reading these books after you know what's going to happening is that there are so many clues leading up to the final problem/mystery/whatever. I love looking for the clues while I'm reading.
I'll talk about HP #5 after I have seen it...

5. A little bit about my vacation... )

6. Finally, I have 144 icons for you. I have been making all of these since my last post and some of them I really like and some of them I really don't like. But I will post the crappy icons, in hopes that someone might actually like them. ;)

Here's the list:
[18] Atonement
[23] Emma Watson
[01] Eva Green
[24] Harry Potter (I'll have more next post!)
[35] Julian Casablancas
[14] Keira Knightley (I really don't like these icons.)
[06] Princess Leia
[03] Pirates of the Caribbean
[20] The Strokes
PREVIEWS:


This whole life is it a dream? I can't tell... )

7. You should all listen to THIS SONG.
It could quite possibly the most creative song I have ever heard. Just because I would never think of describing the world we live in with only words that end in I-Z-E.
Here are the lyrics because they are just so awesome.
Plus the song is just really good anyways.

8. I heart [info]nitaface. She was nice enough to share her musical preferences with me and upload lots of good songs for me to listen to. I really like Don't Look Back In To The Sun by the Libertines and Ruby by the Kaiser Chiefs (which reminds me, I have been thinking it was Kaiser "Chefs" for the longest time until my brother pointed out to me that it was "Chiefs" not "Chefs"...do not ask me to explain the workings of my brain. LOL) Have a great time in Mexico!

9. The Strokes are really the awesomest thing. :)
If you are scared away by my current obsession for them, rest assured, for I probably won't feel the same way within two or three months. My big, big, big obsessions aren't usually permanent. If they are permanent than I am most likely not that obsessive about them. ;)

10. I have been thinking of doing requests. If you would like to either request a PSD file to an icon or some icons made by me please let me know. I will post all of the PSDs in one post and all of the icons in another.
And also, if you are requesting icons, please do not give me really low-quality pictures because they are hard to work with. I only really work with low-quality pics if I am really desperate for the picture. So medium-quality or high-quality are preferable, but if it is a desperate situation and you absolutely need an icon of that picture, I will gladly oblige. ;)
Oh, and if you have any preferences about your icons, please let me know. :)

11. Finally, I have some wallpapers to post. Well, actually only two. One is an old Grey's Anatomy one and one is a more recent Star Wars one that I made for the contest at
Padme's Wardrobe. If you are a Star Wars fan and you have the time, it would be awesome if you participated.

The Grey's Anatomy one was just made for my desktop, so it's nothing special.

I think that's all for now..........
Hope you all like the icons! And request, request, request. :)

P.S. Here are a few more icons that I made while writing out this post and uploading the icons.

P.P.S. I put up a new little info thing. Recently, I've been putting merely a 300x300 square with 9 of my icons (I've been feeling somewhat lazy recently)...I try to vary the subjects of the icons, but sometimes that can be tricky as many of my good icons may be of the same person or fandom. ;)

Sorry for taking so long to do an icon post! I've been making icons, I just always get this thing where I can't post icons until I have like 50. I know, I'm weird, I just put it off.

One more thing before I post the icons:
OMG. I LOVE LOST.
I finally got to see it for the first time because my sister got me both seasons last week. And I love it. Like times fifty. I know I'm just a tiny bit late on discovering this, but I don't have a TV at my house (don't ask me to explain...it'll take me awhile. But it has to do with my parents deciding against it.) and so I was never able to watch it before, but finally I got the seasons on DVD and I've been watching them constantly. It's really addicting and my dad is quite annoyed by how much I like it. Mostly because I watch a lot of it every day. ;)
So expect icons of that.
Oh, and I am a Jate shipper. Which is somewhat weird since almost all of the icons I see are of Skate. But alas, I cannot help myself. I will admit that Sawyer has a very cute smile though. And I don't really mind him and Kate together, they're cute together, but I prefer Jate. I'm not going to go bashing Skate fans or anything, I'm not that in to it. ;)

Ok, ICONS.
We've got:
- Casino Royale
- Kingdom of Heaven
- The Good German
- Eva Green
- Kate Winslet
- Models
- Orlando Bloom
- The Office

TEASERS:


Theresa fell down the stairs. Theresa fell up the stairs. Theresa fell down the stairs. Theresa fell up the stairs. Theresa fell down the stairs... )

Ok, so, a few more things before I go:
- I LOVE CASINO ROYALE. :D
- Expect more icons of Casino Royale, Kingdom of Heaven, and Eva Green.
- Expect icons of Lost, and um...Lost.
- I got a new layout! SQUEE. Incase you didn't see my other one, it had Vesper and James Bond on it. And I liked it. But I didn't like the style of the layout enough and I couldn't find another really good layout with a header. But oh well. I got this very stylish one at [info]damnicons. I like its simplicity. I was also looking at some layouts over at [info]thefulcrum, but then I decided to use this one.
- Daniel Craig and Matthew Fox are my new hotties. And Sawyer's smile.
- I am lazy. That's why this didn't get posted until now. ;)

And I think that's all for now. :D

Ok, this is probably the largest icon post I have ever made. 126 icons. This is everything that I have made since I posted those Diane Kruger icons. I spend quite a bit of time on my icons, so it's a bit surprising that there are so many, but I made all of the Casino Royale and Office icons pretty much the same way, so those didn't take as long as they usually do. :)
Anyways...

[01-04] Angelina Jolie
[05-34] The Casino Royale Trailer
[35-35] Eva Green
[36-43] Katie Holmes
[44-44] Kirsten Dunst and Jason Schwartzman
[45-48] Maggie Gyllenhaal
[49-69] Natalia Vodianova
[70-72] Rachel Bilson
[73-76] Rachel McAdams
[77-80] Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling
[81-81] Scarlett Johansson
[82-111] The Office
[112-126] Keane

PREVIEW:


I.D. badges are long overdue. Security in this office park is a joke. Last year, I came to work with my spud gun in a duffel bag. I sat at my desk all day, with a rifle that shoots potatoes at 60 pounds per square inch. Can you imagine if I was deranged? )

Lastly:
- I got a new layout!! :D :D I love it. And it was made by the amazing [info]lovelamp. It's just so neat and organized and I love it. :D
- I will have everyone's requests tomorrow, I have like two more pictures to do, so I might even post them tonight. Thanks for being so patient!
- Nita and K-RO, I made Tim icons! :D
- I can't wait for Casino Royale. It looks SOOOOOO good. :D Daniel Craig is so cool and Eva Green is really pretty. I'm sure that this Bond movie will be way better than the ones with Pierce Brosnan. He's kinda lame.
- Expect more Keane, celebrities, and The Office. I kinda got back into making Keane icons again. I sort of took a rest for October. ;)
- I LOVE THE OFFICE. Jim and Pam need to get together soon. And I believe that the next episode is called "Branch Closing." Maybe the Stamford branch will close and Jim will come back to Scranton!!! I know either Jenna Fischer or John Krasinski said that Jim is going to come back to Scranton at some point in the season. Maybe, just maybe it will be this next episode! OMG. It seems a bit early though...
- Nita, I've been listening to the Spinto Band a lot recently. I really, really, really like "Did I Tell You" and I've listened to it like 55 times. Which is quite a bit for me. But compared to Keane, it's pretty low. Like half of my Keane songs are past 100 plays, which again, is high for me. ;) I also like "Spy Vs. Spy," "Oh Mandy," "So Kind, Stacy," and "Direct To Helmet."
- And I think that's it. :)
- *HUGS* to all my buddies. :D
